Fished the river below the dam for about three hours. Water is flowing, and fast. Pretty much just wanted to use a few new rods I got over winter. Saw about 100 carp near the surface in the middle of the river. Lost about 5 jig heads on snags. Lots of wood in the river. Maybe one bite. Great day to be out!

That's correct, they are gizzard shad. They must be in there thick because I snagged 3 in the back this morning. Made it out for a little more than an hour this morning and besides the shad I caught one 29" northern that's still swimming. Beautiful morning to be out!

The lack of reports on this thread and the river thread should tell you people are busy catching fish right now, myself included. I've seen several LL'ers down there that are keeping their mouths sealed right now. It's been going on for a month now if you can't tell. As for what's biting and on what it's not that hard to figure out. Just go down there and enjoy the zoo and you will see what's being used and being caught. Avoid this place on the weekends or during the week after work otherwise you will be disappointed when you can't fish cause of all the other fisherman
